Official Sunday slate
Matchups, Eastern windows, venues, and listed TV match the NFL’s published Week 1 schedule (same check as NFL.com’s Week 1 slate and the official schedule-release recap). We do not invent a score, a spread, or a live price. Week 1 has no Friday US regular-season kickoff — Melbourne is Thursday night in the US.

13 Sunday games · three published ET windows · deepest Week 1 board · not Monday Night.
The three Sunday windows
Treat Sunday as three boards, not one pile of logos. A contract that closes at the early window is gone before the late card kicks. The stamp on the ticket is the rule — not the TV graphic and not a clock we invent here.
Early window
1:00 p.m. ET
Eight games. First Sunday contracts of the season. If KYC or a deposit is still pending at 1:00 p.m. ET, you are watching the early card, not trading it.
Late window
4:25 p.m. ET
Four games. No 4:05 p.m. ET start is published on this Week 1 Sunday — the late card is a single 4:25 p.m. ET group on the official slate.
Sunday Night
8:20 p.m. ET
Cowboys at Giants at MetLife Stadium (NBC / Peacock / NFL+). Last Sunday ticket of Week 1. Monday Night (Broncos at Chiefs) is a different day and is not on this page.
Who this Sunday desk is for
US adults who want the Week 1 Sunday event-contract card funded before 1:00 p.m. ET on September 13 — not a DFS lineup and not a deposit-match chase. This is the Sunday URL. Wednesday’s Kickoff Game is Patriots at Seahawks. Thursday’s Melbourne game is 49ers vs Rams. The Week 1 clock — including Monday Night — is the NFL Week 1 prediction-markets checklist. How a Yes/No ticket actually reads is How to read a Polymarket NFL contract. The identity walkthrough is How to complete Polymarket KYC; funding is How to deposit on Polymarket. Polymarket is the only live outbound on this page.
How to trade Sunday on Polymarket
-
Step 1
Confirm the sports desk is open where you live
US access is back, but it is not universal, and a 13-game Sunday board is still a sports book. As of our June 2026 check Polymarket was reported unavailable in Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada and Ohio. Florida is a green-light state. A nationally listed NFL market can still be hidden in your state. Confirm the sports desk in-app before you send money.
-
Step 2
Enter the US (QCEX) flow through the live claim on this page
Use the Polymarket claim button below so you land on the compliant US on-ramp. That is the only live money CTA on this Sunday page. Polymarket returned to the US in December 2025 via its CFTC-licensed QCEX acquisition. That is the legal entrance for US residents — not the old offshore, no-KYC wallet route.
-
Step 3
Have KYC cleared before the 1:00 p.m. ET window on Sunday, September 13
Identity verification is required for US users. Hold times are set by Polymarket, not by us. If you already cleared KYC for Wednesday’s Kickoff Game or Thursday’s Melbourne card, confirm the deposit is settled and the NFL board is still visible. If KYC is still pending at 1:00 p.m. ET, the early Sunday window is closed to you.
-
Step 4
Fund the account and read the live deposit screen
US onboarding uses bank-linked funding rather than an anonymous wallet. Connect the method the app offers, then read the deposit screen in-app. A publisher link is how this site is supported — it is not extra credit in your account. Do not fund on the assumption a welcome match is waiting; we could not verify a standing official US bonus on Polymarket’s own terms.
-
Step 5
Open one Sunday window at a time, then size risk capital
Find the Sunday games only after KYC clears and funding lands. Work the 1:00 p.m. ET card, then the 4:25 p.m. ET card, then Sunday Night — do not spray a first deposit across thirteen tickets. Typical boards include game winners, yes/no totals-style contracts, and longer futures. We do not republish live prices — the book in-app is the book. Event contracts can settle at zero. There is no DFS-style deposit-match floor. Trade only what you can afford to lose. Nothing here is investment advice.
What a Sunday contract is — and is not
A prediction-market contract is a Yes/No price between 1¢ and 99¢. Buy Yes at 60¢ and you pay 60¢ for a contract that settles at $1 if the event occurs and $0 if it does not. Your maximum loss is what you paid; your maximum gain is $1 minus that cost. There is no lineup, no salary cap, and no deposit-match rollover protecting a floor. Thirteen Sunday games does not mean thirteen tickets you have to click. We do not quote a team price here.
Read the sentence on the ticket before you map a sportsbook idea onto it. “Will this team win?” is not the same event as a margin question or a combined-score question. That mapping lives on the contract how-to — this page is the Sunday card, not a second copy of that walkthrough.
Daily fantasy on the rest of this site is a different product: state-licensed, often 21+ (18+/19+ where legal), with a 1-800-GAMBLER frame. If you also want NFL DFS, start at the picks hub — those rules do not carry over to event contracts, and the reverse is also true.
Blocked and contested states
Polymarket reported unavailable as of June 2026: Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada and Ohio. That list is not a promise it stays still — litigation around sports event contracts in particular can narrow or shift access, which is the risk that matters most on a thirteen-game Sunday. Sports markets are the most legally contested category anywhere, including in green-light states. If you are in a listed state, do not fund on the assumption the desk is open. If you are in Florida or another green-light state, still confirm the app lets you finish KYC and that the specific Sunday game actually appears before you send money.
Age is 18+ with identity verification. Compare platforms on the prediction-markets hub.
What you will not get from this page
A dollar welcome match, a paste-this promo code, live Sunday prices, an invented score or spread, or claim buttons for Kalshi, DraftKings, FanDuel, Underdog, Sleeper, PrizePicks, Hard Rock or BetRivers. We could not verify a standing official US welcome bonus on Polymarket’s own terms. Other publishers’ partner codes are theirs; we do not copy them. The honest user-facing line is still US access via CFTC-regulated QCEX — finish KYC before 1:00 p.m. ET on September 13 and confirm the NFL board in-app. Last verified August 8, 2026.
